26 MINIMUM RECROPPING PERIODS Plant-back periods for crops following the application of Starane Advanced for rates up to 900 ml/ha. RATE ml/ha CROP Days Barley Wheat Chickpea Cotton Soybean Sunflower Maize Sorghum Restraint: DO NOT plant susceptible crops, including cotton, pigeon peas and other pulse crops, into irrigated fields with soils containing less than 25% clay content, within 12 months of treatment with Starane Advanced. Note: Before using Starane Advanced in tank mixes with other herbicides, check the plant-back information on all product labels. The time between spraying and planting will be determined by the most residual product, i.e. the product with the longest plant-back period. GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS MIXING Starane Advanced may be mixed with water or diesel. Mix only sufficient chemical for each days use and avoid storing. Mixing in Water: Half fill the spray tank with water and add the required quantity of Starane Advanced and complete filling. Agitate continuously to ensure thorough mixing before and during application. Mixing in Diesel: Half fill the spray tank with diesel and add the required quantity of Starane Advanced. Add the remainder of the diesel and agitate or shake to mix contents. Tank mixtures: Wettable powder or dry flowable formulations (e.g. water dispersible granules) should be added to the spray tank first, followed by suspension concentrates (flowables), water soluble salts and then emulsifiable concentrate formulations (Starane Advanced). Add spraying OILS and SURFACTANTS (wetters) last. (See COMPATIBILITY section for glyphosate (450 g/l) for additional instructions when mixing with glyphosate.) OILS AND SURFACTANTS Oils: Use only Uptake Spraying Oil at the rate of 500 ml/100 L of spray mix. When using less than 100 L/ha spray volume, ensure a minimum of 250 ml/ha of Uptake is used, unless 1 L/100 L or 1 L/ha is specified. Surfactants (wetters): Use a 100% concentrate non-ionic surfactant such as BS1000 at 100 ml/100 L of spray mix where required.

27 COMPATIBILITY Starane Advanced is compatible with the herbicides listed. Follow any regional restrictions, and all directions and restrictions on the label, of any chemical mixed with Starane Advanced. atrazine (see below), Broadstrike, Crusader, Dow AgroSciences LVE 600 MCPA (MCPA LVE), Canvas 750 (MCPA amine), diclofop methyl, Eclipse, Esteron LV, Garlon 600, Garlon FallowMaster, glyphosate, Hotshot, Lontrel Advanced, MCPA, metsulfuron methyl, Paradigm, Statesman 720, Stinger, Topik 240 EC (see below), Tordon 75-D, Touchdown and 2,4-DB. Trademark of The Dow Chemical Company ( Dow ) or an affiliated company of Dow Registered Trademark ATRAZINE AVOID USING HARD WATER WHEREVER POSSIBLE. Where hard water cannot be avoided, the addition of a water conditioning agent to the spray tank, at 100 g/100 L water, before adding any herbicide may improve compatibility. AGITATION IS VERY IMPORTANT WHEN MIXING STARANE ADVANCED AND ATRAZINE. Starane Advanced plus atrazine tank mixes must be agitated vigorously and continuously during mixing and application. After mixing DO NOT allow to stand without agitation. Ensure that the time from mixing to the end of application is not more than 2 hours. If settling out occurs re-suspension is difficult, even with vigorous agitation. Agitation using only the pump s by-pass is usually inadequate, particularly with larger tanks (more than 2000 L). Additional mechanical agitation will be necessary in large tanks, computer sprayers and mixing tanks. When additional surfactant is required, add a 100% concentrate non-ionic surfactant at 100 ml/100 L of spray mix. DO NOT use a spraying oil when tank mixing Starane Advanced and atrazine.

28 TOPIK 240 EC Always use Uptake Spraying Oil with Starane Advanced + Topik 240 EC tank mixes at 500 ml/100 L of spray mix with a minimum of 250 ml/ha. DO NOT mix Starane Advanced with Topik 240 EC if the grass weeds are not actively growing. Always use the maximum label rate of Topik 240 EC for the appropriate grass growth stage. DO NOT use Starane Advanced at more than 450 ml/ha in tank mixes with Topik 240 EC. Glyphosate (450 g/l) When mixing Starane Advanced with glyphosate (450 g/l) to control both grass and broadleaf weeds, refer to the glyphosate product label for use rate recommended for grasses. DO NOT use glyphosate (450 g/l) at less than 1.2 L/ha in tank mixes with Starane Advanced, when barnyard grass, buttongrass, crowsfoot grass, native millet and liverseed grass are the target species. Mixing Instructions for glyphosate + Starane Advanced + other tank-mix partners: Step 1: Fill the spray tank to 1/2 full with clean water, start and maintain agitation. Step 2: Where ammonium sulphate (crystalline or liquid form) is recommended, wash crystalline form at 0.08 % w/v (800 g/100 L spray solution) through a top mesh screen into the tank OR add Liase at 2 % v/v (2 L/100 L spray solution) and mix thoroughly for several minutes. Step 3: Add glyphosate (450 g/l) and allow mixing thoroughly for several minutes. Step 4: For other tank-mix partners: Add dry flowable formulations (e.g. metsulfuron) first, followed by suspension concentrates (flowables e.g. atrazine), water soluble salts (e.g. Statesman 720). Step 5: Then add emulsifiable concentrate formulations, such as Starane Advanced, and allow mixing thoroughly for several minutes. Step 6: Add remaining water to desired final fill level. Step 7: Add a 100% non-ionic surfactant at 0.2% v/v near the end of the filling process to minimize excessive foaming. Step 8: Removing hose from tank immediately after the filling will prevent back siphoning into water source. Always maintain adequate agitation during application and use the tank load promptly. APPLICATION METHODS and WATER RATES BROADCAST APPLICATION IN CROPPING, PASTURE AND FALLOW SITUATIONS. A. Ground Application (Boom) Apply Starane Advanced with an accurately calibrated boom sprayer, in at least 50 L/ha water ( L/ha for sugar cane). Flat fan nozzles applying a medium quality spray (ASAE-S572) are recommended. Set the boom at a height to ensure a double overlap of the nozzle patterns. B. Ground Directed Application (Dropper nozzles) To minimise crop effects, dropper nozzles should be used in sorghum when the crop is beyond the 8 leaf growth stage and in maize and sweet corn when the crop is beyond the 6 leaf growth stage. Adjust the nozzles to direct the spray into the base of the crop and away from the leaves and the growing point. See manufacturers directions for setting up and calibration of dropper nozzles. C. Aerial Application Apply in a minimum volume of at least 35 L/ha water (60 L/ha in sugar cane). Use equipment calibrated to produce a coarse quality spray (ASAE-S572). DO NOT apply when the temperature is above 30 C, when there is no wind or when the wind is blowing toward susceptible crops. DO NOT spray when wind speed is less than 3 km/hr or more than 20 km/hr. WOODY WEED SITUATIONS Weeds must be actively growing to attain optimal effect. Delay the treatment of re-growth following bulldozing, slashing, burning, ploughing or a previous chemical treatment until it has at least 1 metre of new, vigorous, growth. A. High Volume Application Hand Gun Apply the recommended mix to obtain full coverage of leaves and stems using a number 6-8 tip at 700 to 1500 kpa. To obtain good coverage, a spray volume of 1500 to 4000 L/ha (15 to 40 L/100m 2 ) is required per infested hectare. Ensure thorough coverage to the point of runoff. Knapsack and 12 Volt Sprayer Packs Only recommended for the control of herbaceous weeds such as cobblers peg, docks and wandering jew. DO NOT use knapsacks or 12 volt sprayer packs to treat woody weeds.

29 B. Aerial Application Apply in 200 L of water/ha using an aircraft to apply 100 L per pass on a double overlap pattern using nozzle configurations to produce a coarse quality spray (ASAE-S572). The potential for damage from drift can be greatly reduced by avoiding unsuitable spraying conditions and using spray pressure and nozzles to minimise the production of small droplets. DO NOT spray when wind speed is less than 3 km/hr or more than 20 km/hr and/or air temperature reaches 35 C. C. Basal Bark and Cut Stump Application Basal Bark DO NOT apply to wet stems as this can repel the diesel mixture. Spray or paint the recommended mixture around the base of each stem from ground level to a height of at least 30 cm from the ground, wetting the bark to the point of runoff. Apply with a paint brush or a pressure sprayer with an appropriate lance and solid cone nozzle. If using spray equipment use low pressures ( 200 kpa) sufficient to form a cone of spray. Old rough bark will require more spray than smooth or young thin bark. Cut Stump Apply the recommended mixture liberally to the freshly cut stump immediately after cutting. Apply by spraying or painting the cut surface and sides of the stump. Best results are obtained when the stems are cut less than 15 cm above the ground. D. Low Volume, High Concentrate Application Drench Gun or Gas-Powered Gun Apply the recommended mixture uniformly across the foliage by applying 50 ml shots to cover 4 to 5 m 2 of surface area of plant. This is approximately equivalent to 20 droplets per cm 2 of the leaf surface. Use a marking agent as recommended by the equipment manufacturer to check spray coverage. CLEANING SPRAY EQUIPMENT Rinse water should be discharged onto a designated disposal area or, if this is unavailable, onto wasteland away from desirable plants and watercourses. Cleaning equipment after using water-based sprays: Rinsing: After using Starane Advanced Herbicide, empty the tank completely and drain the whole system. Thoroughly wash inside the spray unit using a pressure hose. Drain, and clean any filters in the tank, pump, lines, hoses and nozzles. After cleaning the tank as above, quarter fill with clean water and circulate through the pump, lines and nozzles. Drain and repeat the rinsing procedure twice. Decontamination (before spraying cotton and other sensitive crops; see PROTECTION OF CROPS, NATIVE AND OTHER NON-TARGET PLANTS): Wash the tank and rinse the system as above. Then quarter fill the tank and add an alkali detergent at 500 ml/100 L of water or the powder equivalent at 500 g/100 L and circulate throughout the system for at least 15 minutes. If using a concentrated laundry detergent use 250 g (or ml)/100 L water. Do not use chlorine based cleaners. Drain the whole system. Remove filters and nozzles and clean them separately. Finally flush the system with clean water and allow to drain. Cleaning equipment after using diesel-based sprays: On completion of spraying, use a degreaser to remove traces of diesel from the sprayer. Rinse tank and spray through nozzles with water to remove degreaser. Then, quarter fill the tank with clean water and add an alkali detergent at 50 ml/10 L of water or the powder equivalent at 50 g/10 L of water. Shake sprayer, to circulate the washing solution throughout the sprayer, then spray the solution through the nozzles. Rinse well with clean water to remove the detergent. To clean brushes and containers, spray liberally with degreaser. Hose off with clean water and repeat using detergents as above. DO NOT use this equipment for any other purpose.

30 RESISTANT WEED WARNING Starane Advanced Herbicide is a member of the pyridine group of herbicides. The product has a disrupters of plant cell growth mode of action. For weed resistance management the product is a Group I Herbicide. Some naturally occurring weed biotypes resistant to the product and other Group I herbicides may exist through normal genetic variability in any weed population. The resistant individuals can eventually dominate the weed population if these herbicides are used repeatedly. These resistant weeds will not be controlled by this product or Group I herbicides. Since the occurrence of resistant weeds is difficult to detect prior to use, Dow AgroSciences accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the failure of this product to control resistant weeds. Strategies to minimise the risk of herbicide resistance are available. Contact your farm chemical supplier, consultant, local Department of Agriculture, or local Dow AgroSciences representative. PROTECTION OF CROPS, NATIVE AND OTHER NON-TARGET PLANTS Susceptible crops include but are not limited to clovers, cotton, fruit, hops, lupins, ornamentals, peas, pine tree, potatoes, navy beans, safflower, shade trees, soybeans, sunflower, tobacco, tomatoes, vegetables, and vines. Starane Advanced can be damaging to susceptible crops during both growing and dormant periods. Grasses are normally unaffected by Starane Advanced and establish quickly after treatment. Transitory damage can occur on some species particularly those that spread by stolons such as couch grass (Cynodon dactylon), Kikuyu grass and carpet grass (Axonopus spp.). DO NOT allow spray to drift onto susceptible crops, shade trees and Pinus spp. DO NOT use under weather conditions or from spraying equipment which could be expected to cause spray to drift onto nearby susceptible plants. PROTECTION OF LIVESTOCK DO NOT graze or cut treated crops for stock food except as specified under withholding periods. Poisonous plants may become more palatable after spraying, therefore livestock should be kept out of the area until the plants have died down. DO NOT allow stock to re-enter paddocks containing treated poisonous plants, until the plants have died down. PROTECTION OF WILDLIFE, FISH, CRUSTACEANS AND ENVIRONMENT DO NOT contaminate streams, rivers or waterways with the chemical or used containers. Alongside waterways, treat only noxious weeds and poisonous plants. STORAGE AND DISPOSAL Keep Out of Reach of Children. Store in closed, original container in a cool, wellventilated area.
